New Vortex 1-4x

[M&P45]

This looks promising. Vortex 1-4x24 Reticule available in mils and moa. I see no mention of what focal plane the reticule is on. I like the looks of the reticule. It balances cqb and mid range precision pretty well imho.

It's a second focal plane reticle.

We also have a whole new series of scopes coming out in the Viper PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) line. MOA/MOA or mrad/mrad available in all models, SFP or FFP in the 4-16x50 and 6-24x50 models.

Everything is up on our new tactical website: http://www.vortextactical.com/

not t be the turd in the punch bowl, but I don't see a need for target turrets on a 1-4.

given the probable use of this optic, I'd rather have set it and forget it adjusters under sturdy low profile caps and a SPR reticle.

I certainly understand your reasoning. I think there is some personal preference here. We've had a number of requests from customers who want the ability to use a BDC knob on an optic like this and the target style turrets give them that option.

Additionally, there is a CRS zero stop system on these turrets, so that return to zero is easy.

That being said, I realize there are also valid arguments for the capped style turrets and I think that is a very good possibility for 2011.

Looks like a great optic. Vortex keeps popping up on my radar.

It seems that there are increasingly good options in the variable magnification genre and this should make an excellent DMR optic where the BDC and zero-stops bring good things to the table.

Given it's a second focal plane can I presume that the reticle holds are accurate at the 4x setting?

My biggest request in these types of optics is a quick ranging reticle. Mil-ranging works, but something like an ACOG reticle is far faster.

Yes, you are correct. The reticle subtensions are accurate at 4x on the 1-4x24.

Our stuff is made in a number of different places. The Viper PST's are made in the Philippines using glass from Japan. The Razor series is made in Japan.

I totally disagree. We need target turrents to range in three gun. You need to have some way to dial in for 400 and 600 yard targets.
